I was on the pill for almost 5 years, and
about 18 months ago I stopped taking them.
I had one period right after I went off
of them but none since then. Has anyone
heard of or experience post pill
amanorrhea. Will this eventually go away
on its own. I do want to get pregnant
eventually. Should I be worried or will I
get my period and ovulate if I just wait
it out. I need some feedback.

Hey there, I was on the depo shot for
about 2-3 years.
I experienced the same thing when I got
off.
I was not on any type of birth control for
nearly a year and
i did not have my period at all.
I was worried as well and I went to my
doctor. She told me it was
normal and was an after effect since my
body was so used to the
effects of the depo shot. If I wanted
to, she could prescribe me
some type of estrogen pill to regulate my
body.
I tookd a pregnancy test and then I got
back on the depo shot
and my period came again.
To be on safe side, you should talk to
your doctor about
it but you shouldn't be too worried about
it b/c your body
hasn't adjusted to the new changes or just
isn't back to normal yet.
I do suggest you go back on some sort of
birth control if you
are sexually active. =) well good
luck!
